Yesterday’s reported active case total was 462. There are 9 current hospitalizations.

Case Definitions:

Being classified as "probable" means a patient has symptoms consistent for COVID-19 and an epidemiological... link to a confirmed case, but do not have confirmatory laboratory evidence for COVID-19.

Being classified as “recovered” means LCHD has followed up with the case and evaluated them against the CDC guidelines for end of isolation, as they are no longer considered contagious.

Being classified as “closed” means LCHD has made multiple attempts and is unable to contact and verify the individual is recovered. In addition, Long-Term Care residents have been labeled “closed” as each long-term care facility evaluates these patients in a closed-care setting. See the ODH Dashboard for information on active vs. closed long-term care residents in Licking County.

Definitive cause of death can take weeks to determine. LCHD does not make determinations on COVID-19 deaths. ODH determines COVID-19 deaths after reviewing death certificates. Data displayed illustrates current status. The average age of all COVID-19 deaths in the Licking County Health Jurisdiction is 80 and ranges from 59-98.
